    Zebralight H600/H604/H600F MKIV headlamp

    Yes. In the highest 1568 lm mode it gets burning hot ridiculously fast, and will drop rapidly in output. I have programmed 980 lm as the highest setting myself. The visible difference is minor and not worth the downsides imo. Btw, the 980 lumen mode on this light draws significantly less juice...

    Preon Revo SS Neutral White XP-G

    If they stuck with the xp-e R2 to get the right beam profile in this little thing, why did they choose a xp-g led in the neutral version? It doesn't make sense to me. Why can't I have BOTH a little bit of throw AND a neutral tint??

    How good are battery chargers ?

    Rechargable batteries are not just marked with "rechargable". They use completely different technologies. Normal rechargable batteries are NiMH, while normal non rechargable batteries are made with Alkaline technology. Besides the obvious fact that alkaline batteries cannot be charged, they are...

    Zebralight SC51 (XP-G R4) & SC50w (XP-E Neutral) 1xAA Reviews: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS +

    Re: Zebralight SC51 (XP-G R4) & SC50w (XP-E Neutral) 1xAA Reviews: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOT The efficiency and features of this light looks extremely nice. I just had to pre-order one. It even has fine regulation on alkaline and L2's. Zebralight seems to be the best at circuit technology by far right...

    Eneloop capacity variance in same batch - is this normal?

    The just offered me what I payed for the batteries in store credit. It's okay for me.

    Multi mode lights with memory

    It all depends on how difficult it is to change modes with the specific flashlight. On my fenixes/quark I just have to tap one or more times quickly from turning it on, it takes less than a second. My LF5XT on the other hand I have programmed to use memory, as its much more time consuming...

    Eneloop capacity variance in same batch - is this normal?

    Yes, you are probably right about the "recycle mark" and HR6. There is no doubt they are fake though, as they are both longer and thicker than the genuine ones. They also came with a lower charge. All the real ones are between 1.33V and 1.34V, and the fake ones are between 1.15v and 1.22v. I...

    Eneloop capacity variance in same batch - is this normal?

    It turned out I had a few unopened packs of batteries from dx. The last I ordered had that wierd packaging, but I didn't really thing about it then. Now I read this at dx, and started to compare them to my other unused eneloops. I decided to take some photos of the differences. Front Back...

    What's wrong with the LF5XT? It's pretty much the same as the LF3XT..

    What happened to my 14500 batteries?

    Li-ions age a lot just from sitting in a drawer, so I don't buy expensive cells. I buy them all new every year or so anyway. The trustfire 18650's are great. Advertised capacity and no problems yet. The 14500's are a different story.

    What is the shelf life of fully charged RCRs?

    Lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries does not have good cold weather performance. Only lithium primary cells.

    Not Impressed With Fenix E01 - Wife Loves It

    The purple tint of the E01 is NOTHING compared to the horrible strobing pwm of the L0D. Try going outside with it when it's snowing or raining. It makes my eyes go crazy. I have the LD01 and I like it, but still it seems like I use the E01 more. It's just so simple and reliable, and it's on...

    What happened to my 14500 batteries?

    I'm throwing them away in stead, they're cheap anyway.. I was just thinking maybe someone else had experienced the same thing, and I was thinking that it might be the pcb that's the problem, not the battery itself, but I really don't know.. Well, who cares..

    What happened to my 14500 batteries?

    I had 8 trustfire 14500 protected batteries in a drawer for about one year. Now that I decided to check on them 5 of them had 3.97V exactly but one had 2V and two was dead (0V). What happened to the dead cells? Why would some of the cells just rapidly self discharge now when they all came with...
